HI everyone, Milo is ten months now and doing great (MY PRIDE AND JOY) i am in the process of changing his kibble any suggestions as he is fed up with the one he is on and not eating so well . he is at the moment on HILLS SCIENCE PLAN.
Re: types of kibble Some garden centres and pet food shops will give you free samples. Canagan offer small free trial sizes of their foods but you may have to ask. You will be inundated with suggestions from the forum. Prices vary tremendously. My personal belief is that it is worth paying for a better quality food, generally they need less (so it doesn't cost any more), there is less poo to deal with and a healthy dog means less expensive visits to the vet. Basically, you pays your money, they take their choice
Re: types of kibble I'm not a huge believer in one brand of kibble being much better than another - I'd say avoid the very cheap kibbles, and just go for something your dog likes and matches your budget - unless you have any particular requirements (eg grain free, or a certain level of protein etc). At the end of the day, all kibble is highly processed food and it all contains carbohydrate (which dogs don't need, but it's necessary in order to make kibble). There seems to be a growing market in websites claiming to analyse kibble but I reckon this is all largely nonsense and a response to a market in which there is little real difference between the products, but consumers want to make a careful choice.
Re: types of kibble I'd look at the ingredients list and avoid ones that seem to contain large quantities of fillers (like corn by products or cereal grains). Generally the cheaper they are the more cheap fillers they'll have and vice versa. Perhaps just start with a small bag to see how Milo goes with it
Re: types of kibble I have tried many, but the one that suits my dogs best is Burgess Sensitive Lamb and Rice.
Re: types of kibble We've been using Hills for a while and are currently changing to Canagan. It uses vegetables instead of grain as fillers, which might be better long term.
